    ..as I got hooked on another forum to be honest. I've been on Keto for 2 years and 6 months, ever since diagnosed with T2 Diabetes on Jan. 20, 2021. I have never looked back, and follow the low-carb nutrition/keto, and actually lean toward Carnivore. I don't know if I will go that far, but...

    Is my understanding right that "Fat does not..
